Instructions for Preparing an RS2477 Claim
On BLM and National Forest System Lands
Introduction
Access within and across BLM and National Forest system lands is an issue of concern to local governments, emergency service providers, commercial operators, interest groups and private citizens. One way to acquire access is through the successful establishment of an RS 2477 claim.
In summary, RS 2477 (short for Section 2477, Federal Revised Statutes), was a provision included in an 1866 mining law to allow continued public access in and across lands removed from the public domain. This provision of law states, “The right-of-way for the construction of highways over public land, not reserved for public uses, is hereby granted.” (An Act Granting Right of Way To Ditch and Canal Owners Over The Public Land, and for Other Purposes [Mining Law of 1866], Act of July 26, 1866, ch. 262, § 8, 14 Stat. 251, codified at R.S. 2477, recodified at 43 U.S.C. § 932)
When this law was repealed by Congress in 1976, those “public” roads existing on BLM lands prior to 1976 were, and continue to be exempted from this repeal. On National Forest system lands, those public roads existing at the time the forest reserve was created (or annexed) were also exempted from this repeal. (Pub. L. No. 94-579, § 706(a), 90 Stat. 2793 (1976); see also Recognition of R.S. 2477 Rights-of-Way under the Department of the Interior’s FLPMA Disclaimer Rules and Its Memorandum of Understanding with the State of Utah, United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 B-300912, February 6, 2004, and Highway Rights Of Way On Public Lands: R.S. 2477 And Disclaimers Of Interest Congressional Research Service Report For Congress (received through the CRS web) Order Code RL32142, November 7, 2003.)
Examples of RS 2477 rights of way on BLM or National Forest lands include:
a. a right of way that leaves a county road, enters federal land, continues through federal land and returns to a county road.
b. a right of way that begins on federal land continues through federal land and ends on federal land.
c. a right of way that leaves a state highway or county road, enters federal land, and continues to private property.
d. a right of way that leaves a state highway or county road, enters federal land, and continues to state land
e. a right of way that leaves a state highway or county road, enters private land, continues to federal land, and ends on federal land, a state highway, or a county road
f. a right of way that leaves a state highway or county road, enters State land, continues to federal land, and ends on federal land, a state highway, or a county road. (see Amended R.S. 2477 Inventory Protocol: Perfecting R.S. 2477 Assertions in Moffat County, Colorado, May, 2005.)
All RS 2477 claims are likely to be challenged on the grounds of either state or federal law, depending on the state you live in. In Arizona, for example, an RS 2477 challenge is most likely to be decided on the construction of federal law due to the Federal Ninth Circuit’s general reliance on federal law to interpret RS 2477 claims. Conversely, an RS 2477 case in Colorado is likely to be decided on the construction of Colorado State law, due to the Tenth Circuit’s reliance on state law to interpret RS 2477 claims. (see Federal Regulation of R.S. 2477 Rights-Of-Way. NYU Annual Survey Of American Law Vol. 63:547, 2008. See also White Paper Review: Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance v. Bureau of Land Management Prepared by: Dr. Martin D. Moore, Research Associate
Southwest Center for Resource Analysis / Western New Mexico University, 2008)
Preparing A Claim
The following steps will assist you in preparing a verifiable RS2477 claim in your area. These involve research, documentation, and government action.
Research
1. Identify on any official federal, state, or county map the road or easement name you are seeking to claim.
a. If the road or easement is located on the map, MOVE TO STEP 2.
b. If the road or easement is not on a map, use a geographic positioning sstem (gps) to mark the coordinates for the beginning and end points of the road or easement, and take photographs of the road. Then, MOVE TO STEP 2.
2. Check the county records to see if that road, trail, or easement has been claimed as RS2477.
a. If you don’t find evidence that the county has taken official action to claim an RS 2477 road or easement, MOVE TO STEP 3.
b. If you do find evidence that the county has taken official action to claim an RS 2477 road or easement has been claimed through official county action, ask to see and receive a copy of:
i. minutes of the meeting in which the action took place; and
ii. documents and/or maps supporting the action to claim the road. These documents should include:
1. if a road crosses BLM lands, official (federal, county, or state) maps that pre-date 1976.
2. if a road crosses National Forest lands, official maps that pre-date the establishment of the forest reserve.
3. copies of County Board minutes from the time period the road was originally accepted showing that:
-the road was accepted into the county road system; or
-the county gave approval to spend funds to construct, repair or maintain the road
c. If you are satisfied that the county has back-up documentation as outlined in paragraph 2(b), STOP. YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILE A CLAIM.
d. If you are not sure that the county has adequate back-up documentation, CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL.
e. If you are not satisified that the county has adequate back-up documentation, MOVE TO STEP 3.
3. On an official federal, state, or county map, mark the beginning point, the route, the width, and end points of the road or easement you are seeking to claim.
4. If possible, take pictures of and plot on a Geographic Positioning System (GPS) unit the beginning point, the route, the distance, the width, and the end point of the road or easement.
5. Check county records for evidence of :
a. the inclusion of the road or easement on the county or state road system; or
b. approval by the County Board to spend public funds for constructing, repairing, or maintaining the road; or
c. the expenditure of public funds for constructing, repairing, or maintaining the road.
Notes:
1. These records must pre-date 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands. For roads or easements on National Forest lands, they must pre-date the establishment of the forest reserve.
2. To aid your search of county records, ask if your county has compiled a historic record including:
a. past County Board meeting minutes showing official actions to accept roads or easements into the county system. You will want minutes for County Board meetings that occurred:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
b. past County Board meeting minutes showing official actions to abandon or remove roads or easements from the county system. You will want minutes for County Board meetings that occurred:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
c. past County Board meeting minutes showing official actions to approve the use of public funds to construct, repair, or maintain the road or easement. You will want minutes for County Board meetings that occurred:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
d. official county maps and road / trail / easement inventory lists created:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
3. If the county has compiled historic records, ask for a copy of the records. There may be a copying charge.
4. If the county has not compiled historic records, ask for the location of:
a. Archived Board meeting minutes (often in the office of the County Clerk, County Recorder, or Clerk of the Board), dated:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
b. Historic maps and road/easement inventory lists created:
i. prior to 1976 for roads or easements on BLM lands;
ii. prior to the establishment of a forest reserve for roads or easements on National Forest system lands.
c. Archived financial records, which may or may not be public record.
Documentation
In order to build a complete file for each R.S. 2477 Right of Way, the following steps are recommended:
1. Use numbers or letters, along with common names (if any) to identify each right of way for future reference.
2. Note the type of right of way. These include:
a. State Highway: recognized by State Highway road numbers.
b. County Road: recognized by County road numbers.
c. Dirt: Vegetation has been mechanically removed to bare soil. Some vegetation re-growth may occur depending on the age of the right of way or time since last maintained.
d. Two-Track: Vegetation is generally absent on each vehicle track and present between vehicle tracks.
e. ATV: Generally the same as Two-Track with approximately four feet distance between tracks. Single-track motorcycle tracks fit the ATV category.
f. Livestock: Generally single-track rights of way used for public access.
g. No Physical Evidence: The existence of a right of way can be proven despite a lack of current maintenance or use.
3. Document the use of the right of way. If available, any anecdotal explanation or discussion of the public uses should also be included. For example, if the use is “access to cabin” then any information about the owner of the cabin, when it was built, and whether it was originally part of a ranch or homestead should be included. Types of uses may include, but are not limited to:
a. connects road “a” with road “b”
b. motorcycle route for recreational use
c. access to cabin
d. maintenance of barbed wire fence
e. access to hang gliding launch pad
f. access to water reservoir or spring
g. access to mining claim
h. access to hunting location
i. access to dispersed camping location
j. access to livestock gathering place
k. access to windmill
l. access to scenic overlook
m. alternative route to “a” during heavy snow
4. Document the physical location of the right of way
a. The location of routes may be entered as a layer in a Geographic Information System computerized mapping system.
b. A database using Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates may be used to document the exact location of the right of way.
c. Drawing on 1:24000 USGS maps or official county road maps can locate the right of way.
d. When possible, an estimated width of the right-of-way should be documented.
5. Document the approximate date or year when the right of way came into existence.
a. This can be based on date of construction, repair, acceptance, etc.
6. Document the source(s) that identifies the right of way.
7. Compile gathered information pertaining to the public usage of the right of way (e.g. trailing livestock, hunting, motorized recreation, mining, etc.)
a. Where possible, compile affidavits documenting public use of the rights of way. Affidavits detailing the use of a road in detail beyond a phrase or short sentence are important.
8. Compile ground truth evidence of the right of way. (GPS, photographs)
Government Action
1. If you are a county or state, you need to claim, through binding resolution or legislation, the RS2477 roads, trails, or easements that you have gathered evidence on.
2. If you are a citizen or private group, compile the evidence you have gathered and request that your Board of County Commissioners (or state legislature and governor) claim the road, trail, or easement as RS2477. This request should be in writing through either a letter, a resolution from your organization, or a petition with signatures. Include a complete copy of your evidence with the request.

U.S. Treasury Prepares To Rip-Off the u.S.
The American people are getting set-up for a major economic swindle by the U.S. Treasury as well as the Commodities (Mercantile) Exchange and due to economic ties, other freedom-loving people around the world will pay as well.
Based on first-hand interviews with numismatic, precious metal and circulation coin experts, Hour Of The Time has discovered the following alarming facts concerning precious metals in the u.S.
Today, December 15 2008 was reported to be the last shipments from the U.S. Mint for the year, no matter what their obligations or prior commitments were. They have also reportedly decreased their “allocations” to authorized U.S. Mint distributors by 70%, despite prior agreements or historical arrangements. As well, the U.S. Mint will no longer be minting fractional precious metal coins, thus eliminating a major segment of the investing public from participating in the exchange of lawful money.
As an aside, it should be noted that the Department of the Treasury is making a new run of quarter designs, which involve a very unique set of legal entities for the researcher.
The “Commodities Exchange”, as people in the trade call it, is now reported to be refusing to fill contractual obligations for payment of bond in precious metals. Let us look at an excerpt concerning gold from the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) for more insight into why gold is important to trade, stability and economic good;
“Gold
Perhaps no other market in the world has the universal appeal of the gold market. For centuries, gold has been coveted for its unique blend of rarity, beauty, and near indestructibility. Nations have embraced gold as a store of wealth and a medium of international exchange; individuals have sought to possess gold as insurance against the day-to-day uncertainties of paper money.
COMEX Division gold futures and options provide an important alternative to traditional means of investing in gold such as bullion, coins, and mining stocks.
Gold futures contracts are also valuable trading tools for commercial producers and users of the metal. Commercial concentrations of gold are found in widely distributed areas: in association with ores of copper and lead, in quartz veins, in the gravel of stream beds, and with pyrites (iron sulfide). Seawater contains astonishing quantities of gold, but its recovery is not economical.
The greatest early surge in gold refining followed the first voyage of Columbus. From 1492 to 1600, Central and South America and the Caribbean islands contributed significant quantities of gold to world commerce. Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, and Hispaniola contributed 61% of the world's newfound gold during the 17th century. In the 18th century, they supplied 80%.
Following the California gold discovery of 1848, North America became the world's major gold supplier; from 1850 to 1875, more gold was discovered than in the previous 350 years. By 1890, the gold fields of Alaska and the Yukon were the principal sources of supply and, shortly afterwards, discoveries in the African Transvaal indicated deposits that exceeded even these. Today, the principal gold producing countries include South Africa, the United States, Australia, Canada, China, Indonesia, and Russia.
The United States first assigned a formal monetary role for gold in 1792, when Congress put the nation's currency on a bimetallic standard, backing it with gold and silver.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, most nations were forced to sever their currency from gold in an attempt to stabilize their economies.
Gold formally reentered the world's monetary system in 1944, when the Bretton Woods agreement fixed all the world's paper currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar which in turn was tied to gold. The agreement was in force until 1971, when President Nixon effectively cancelled it by ending the convertibility of the dollar into gold.
Today, gold prices float freely in accordance with supply and demand, responding quickly to political and economic events.
Gold is a vital industrial commodity. It is an excellent conductor of electricity, is extremely resistant to corrosion, and is one of the most chemically stable of the elements, making it critically important in electronics and other high-tech applications.
A broad cross-section of companies in the gold industry, from mining companies to fabricators of finished products, can use the COMEX Division gold futures and options contracts to hedge their price risk. Furthermore, gold has traditionally had a role in investment strategies, and gold futures and options can be found in investors' portfolios.”
Based on interviews with precious metals experts, the frightening realization is that they have less than 20% of the metals needed to fill their contractual agreements with investors. Therefore, they are now fulfilling these “agreements” with an exchange of Federal Reserve Notes rather than the agreed upon precious metal.
This is resulting in a further run on the supply of gold and silver in circulation, resulting in an artificial rise or “premium” on the prices. For example, a 30-year expert in the field of precious metals and coins who is listed on Dunn and Bradstreet, a provider of international and US business credit information and credit-reports, had the following to report.
1) Precious metal dollar coins have had such premiums added to their selling price as to increase their final selling prices by up to $70 FRN’s per-coin above market value. This has been greatly affected by investors desire to own precious metals, no matter the cost, because of fear of the strength of the U.S. Dollar.
2) 100-ounce silver bullion bars have been harboring up to $3 FRN’s per-ounce above current market value, thus resulting in an artificial propping of the U.S. dollar and artificial suppression on the real value of silver. This has been further exasperated by the shortcomings of commodity bond commitments along with skepticism of the solidity of the U.S. Dollar in the marketplace.
We hope that everyone can take heed of the current events in the precious metals market and learn the true value and safety of precious metals investing through sources such as the Hour Of The Time.

John Doyel, Shamley
U.S. Treasury Prepares To Rip-Off the u.S.
The American people are getting set-up for a major economic swindle by the U.S. Treasury as well as the Commodities (Mercantile) Exchange and due to economic ties, other freedom-loving people around the world will pay as well.
Based on first-hand interviews with numismatic, precious metal and circulation coin experts, Hour Of The Time has discovered the following alarming facts concerning precious metals in the u.S.
Today, December 15 2008 was reported to be the last shipments from the U.S. Mint for the year, no matter what their obligations or prior commitments were. They have also reportedly decreased their “allocations” to authorized U.S. Mint distributors by 70%, despite prior agreements or historical arrangements. As well, the U.S. Mint will no longer be minting fractional precious metal coins, thus eliminating a major segment of the investing public from participating in the exchange of lawful money.
As an aside, it should be noted that the Department of the Treasury is making a new run of quarter designs, which involve a very unique set of legal entities for the researcher.
The “Commodities Exchange”, as people in the trade call it, is now reported to be refusing to fill contractual obligations for payment of bond in precious metals. Let us look at an excerpt concerning gold from the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) for more insight into why gold is important to trade, stability and economic good;
“Gold
Perhaps no other market in the world has the universal appeal of the gold market. For centuries, gold has been coveted for its unique blend of rarity, beauty, and near indestructibility.

'You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.'

The Great Depression was not caused by the stock market crash of 1929...it was caused by the lack of money in circulation. This is very much like credit drying up (same). You can well imagine the implications of foreign markets, wary of our "promise to pay" (seeing as we are now over TEN TRILLION DOLLARS in debt), refusing the shipments we have become so dependent on. Welcome to the world of fractional reserve lending, finance capitalism, and interdependence, all rolled into one, like so many pigs in the mud. The united States of America's independence was sold on the international markets.
